Abstract

In the reaction of NO reduction by propane in excess oxygen, the activity of a binary mixture of commercial oxide catalysts is higher than should be expected if it were proportional to the activities of separate catalyst components. This synergism reveals itself in the fact that the conversion of NO and C3H8 is higher when the catalyst is a mechanical mixture than the sum of conversions over separate catalysts, all other conditions being the same. Based on the kinetic and thermal desorption measurements, the experimental conditions are found under which the synergism is observed. A hypothetical mechanism is proposed.
